Classic British Flight Sim

Two pairs of props? The plot thickens.

I think I went off on the wrong track altogether and couldn't get back on the right one.

I think you might find it a bit fishy........I went off half cock initially!

I'm thinking along the same lines, something a bit fishy that didn't get out of prototype stage

Can’t find any mention of a Merlin 140 either. I’m getting an early night but I wait with baited breath for the morning. I did read mention of a prototype but from what I read it never flew, so think I’m off tract too.

Might be referred to as Nicola.

And it did enter service looking like Desperate Dan...........in its later life......

OK, last clue:

TOO LATE! TIME'S UP!
Here's the picture in full:

Must admit that I couldn't find a Merlin 140 in the list of variants on the web, but that's what the power plants were described as.
Who got there?
Keith (Dev One)
Peter W (Milesman)

Congratulations Gentlemen (sound of clapping and cheering)


Keith's reference to Desperate Dan, I think this is the variant :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sturgeon_SB3.jpg

I believe that there's a long-nosed version at Tangmere, btw.

Golly gosh. Never even heard of that one! Will have to do some reading.
